How to Host Thanksgiving Amid a Pandemic

As COVID-19 continues to pose a risk to gatherings, many people are trying to reimagine their holiday plans. According to a recent survey, 21% of 1,000 adults confirmed that they do not know what they will be doing for Thanksgiving this year. When making your plans this year, make safety a priority by determining logistics such as cleanliness and spacing ahead of time.

Check State Regulations

First thing’s first, many states have restrictions on how many people may gather. Make sure to follow any state regulations set in place. While Florida may not have any state-mandated limits on gatherings, Florida Health suggests that you avoid congregating in groups larger than 10. If your guests are traveling from out of state, make sure to take note of any travel restrictions the state has set in place. As of right now, Florida does not have any traveling restrictions in place.

Measure Your Space

Social distancing is still encouraged, even during holiday gatherings. A great way to determine how many guests you can safely invite is to measure your space ahead of time. Keep in mind that while people are eating, their masks come off. Make sure that there is enough space to keep everyone at least 6 feet apart.

Alter Agenda, Location, and Serving Style

If you need more space, consider hosting Thanksgiving dinner outdoors! Not only does it allow for flexibility with spacing, but better airflow also increases overall safety. At Grimes Events and Party Tents, we can provide you with additional equipment such as tables, chairs, tableware, and linens. We also have 10×10 DIY tents that will keep your guests comfortable all day long.

Properly Prepare Your Guests

Make sure that all your guests are aware of what the plan is. Encourage all guests to observe a 14-day quarantine prior to Thanksgiving Day. Ask your guests to wear a mask whenever they are not eating or drinking. Remind your guests that if they are feeling ill, they should stay home. For those who are considered high risk, do your best to include them by video-chatting with them on the day of.

Observe CDC Guidelines

You and your guests should follow all CDC guidelines set in place. These include social distancing, mask-wearing, frequent hand washing, and limiting the number of people you come in contact with.

The holidays are a joyous time to gather with friends and family. However, this year, it is especially important to do what you can to ensure everyone’s safety. Grimes Events and Party Tents is here to support you during this time by providing social distancing solutions, tent, and table rentals. Contact us today for all your Thanksgiving rental needs!

3 Tips for Spring Weddings

When planning your wedding, there are so many details and decisions that need to be made. With so much to do, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. At Grimes Events & Party Tents, we’ve been handling party rentals for over 20 years, so we want to help simplify the planning process so you can enjoy being engaged! Here’s our top three tips for planning a spring wedding in South Florida.

Have an Outdoor Wedding

The milder spring weather in South Florida makes it the perfect time to get married outdoors! With the abundance of beautiful outdoor venues in Florida, we’ve got you covered with a variety of tents. Whether you prefer a frame tent for your beach wedding, or would like a clear top to showcase the beauty of a botanical garden venue, we can take the guesswork out of your outdoor wedding. Even if the Florida weather surprises you with higher temperatures, we can install air conditioners in the tent to keep your guests comfortable.

Choose a Fun Color Scheme

Move over, pastels! Spring isn’t just for you anymore! Many brides are opting for fun and exciting color schemes, including Coral Pink, Saffron, or Flame Scarlet! Not every couple is the same, so why should every spring wedding feature the same colors? Bold accent colors are a fun trend this year that we’re hoping stays around for a while! If you’re using a bold accent color, try using a fun texture for the neutral side of the color scheme. A textured, neutral linen is the perfect complement to a Flame Scarlet floral centerpiece! Try mixing and matching fun colors and textures and decide what you think fits your wedding style.

Personalize the Little Details

At its core, a wedding should be about the love story of two people. Sometimes it’s easy to get lost in all the excitement and expectations of others but try to remind yourself of what truly matters. Little decorative details are the perfect way to personalize your wedding. Even a detail as simple as table numbers can be made uniquely yours by including a photo of the bride and groom from when they were the same age as the table number. Another way to personalize your wedding is to try combining the bride and groom’s favorite colors to create a simple decoration to place over the chairs.

Let your wedding planning be stress-free by hiring South Florida’s premier event rental company. Contact us at 561-853-8368 to learn more about our services, products, and event production.

5 Common Questions About Event Rental Installations

When considering tents for weddings and events, it’s important to know what to expect with the installation process, specifically timeline and pricing. We know that the foundation for a successful event lies in the preparation and planning, so we want to help simplify the installation process by answering the 5 most common questions that we receive.

Do you set up and break down the rental products?

Our delivery/ pick-up teams will set up and break down several of our rental products at no additional charge, including tents, bars, cooking equipment, dance floors, staging, and lighting. We can perform chair setup and breakdown, as well as table setup and breakdown services at an additional cost. Those services can be added at any point in the process before delivery.

What is your standard rental period?

The price of our rental equipment includes a 72-hour rental period. Should you need to keep our products longer than 72 hours, additional charges will apply.

Do you deliver?

Yes, we do offer delivery. When you request a delivery, you will be given either a morning (8 am-12 pm) or an afternoon (1 pm-6 pm) delivery window. Delivery rates will vary depending on delivery specifics and location.

What do I need to do to get ready for you to install the tent rental?

When installing a tent, the first step our crews take is to spread it flat on the ground in the area where it will be. Please have this area completely clear of obstructions before we arrive at the job site.

How will my tent be secured?

Grass – when setting up your tent, we typically drive a 42” stake into the grass in 2 places at each corner and 1 at each additional leg. The stakes will be approximately 4 feet away from the tent, with a white strap running from the top of the tent to the stake itself.

Asphalt – We will have to drill 1.5” diameter holes at each place that we need a stake. We can then drive our stakes in the ground, just the same as if we were setting up on grass. When we come back to pick up the tent, we will patch all holes with either asphalt patches or a plug.

Concrete – We will drill ½” diameter holes to secure your tent with concrete anchors. Our straps will run from the top of the tent down to the concrete anchors. When we pick up the tent, we will patch all holes with concrete patches, however we cannot guarantee an exact color match.

Other – If your tent is going on any surface that we are not allowed to drill through or drive stakes, we secure your tent with either cement weights or 55-gallon water barrels. To ensure that we have the proper equipment on-site, please contact us prior to booking your event. There will be an additional fee to secure any tent that we cannot stake.

From tents for weddings and events to table rentals (and everything in between!), Grimes Events & Party Tents is South Florida’s premier event rental company. If you are interested in hiring us for your next event, contact us at 561-853-8368.
